Children's Benedryl Itch Cooling Gel- Review

I was in Walmart a few days ago looking at different skin creams for bug bites and sunburn itch (getting ready for summertime!) and I came across Benedryl's Children's Itch Cooling Gel. Usually I look past Benedryl ointments because I have never had a lot of luck with having them work. My son, and my daughter as we just found out, are allergic to bug bites. And I'm not talking about the normal little bump and itch we get from a mosquito, I'm talking, swell up for days kind of allergic. They both have a prescription ointment that they use to treat bites, but it isn't for itch, leaving me to find a product that works.

Usually, my go to product is Aveeno, but when I saw this new Benedryl I had to check it out. Before I even bought it I took the cap off and smelled it. It had a very similar smell to Vicks vapor rub, and I somehow managed to get some on my nose.I immediately felt the cooling sensation on the tip of my nose where it had touched. So I thought, even if it doesn't completely take away the itch of a bite, it will at least numb it a bit. So I bought it.

My son got a nice bug bite on his neck while playing outside today, giving me a chance to try out the new gel. He had already started scratching at it before I noticed, but I used the Children's Benedryl Itch Cooling Gel as soon as I noticed. Initially, he complained that he didn't like it because it made his neck feel cold and he didn't like the sensation. However, I never saw him scratch at his bite again. This amazes me because not a lot of products have worked on him.

Then, I got my second chance to use this product on my sunburn. It worked wonders. This product may say it's for children, but I am pretty sure it's something that I will be using just as much. 

So a little information about it: the main ingredient is Camphor, and external analgesic. (Great for a slight numb!)

The tube says "Immediate cooling/soothing relief for most outdoor itches. Stops the urge to scratch." This I found to be true.

For skin use only, on "Insect bites, poison ivy, oak, sumac, mosquito bites, sunburn, minor cuts and scrapes"

This product retails for between $4-5.

Definitely a must for summertime!

Time Flies!!

Hello everyone, it has been a whole month since I created this page and I haven't really started using it yet. Do you believe that? I swear I am not a procrastinator. And I promise I will be adding many reviews very soon for some cool products! This past month has been crazy for me! My son turned 4, we found a major problem in our bedroom, which led to a huge project, we had a gas leak, my mother had heat stroke and also a surgery, the hubby FINALLY had a vacation, and we went to Boston for the first time. It has been an unusual few weeks!

Some things I will be writing about VERY soon include:
- A Nuby cup and plate my daughter received in the mail from the Nuby company
- A Tommee Tippee bottle from the Tommee Tippee company
- Vaseline Aloe Vera lotion
- A few very cool websites I have found, very useful for mommy's
- And much more!

I am also in the process of setting up a Super Mommy Facebook page, which is very exciting! I will be posting the link to it shortly, so keep watching for it!

Introducing Super Mommy

My name is Brittany, and I am Super Mommy (aren't we all?!) First off, I want to welcome you to my blog!

Now let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a stay at home mom, with 2 children. My son is going to be 4 years old this month, and my daughter is 9 months. Being a stay at home mom has been very rewarding, as I have been able to watch my children learn and grow. They constantly keep me on my toes. My son is wise beyond his years and can be a smarty pants at times. I can never predict what he is going to say or do at ant given time. He always makes me laugh. And my daughter is now learning all the things in my house that she can get in to. So I spend my days chasing the two of them around the house, literally. My kids are my world, and there's not a lot more I can say about myself.

So why did I create this blog? I want to share with others the knowledge that I already have. I want to let everyone know the experiences I have had with specific products, especially those I love. And whenever I discover a new product, I would like to share that as well.

At times, I may even share something that has happened to me to brighten everyone's day, or to let you know that you are not alone.
